Effects of fructan source and degree of polymerization on intestinal barrier function and histomorphology characteristics in obese C57BL/6 mice
… that may contribute to low grade inflammation. Fructan prebiotics have been demonstrated to increase intestinal resistance and decrease systemic inflammation. The objective of this study was to test the effects of prebiotics on intestinal permeability, morphology, and gene expression in an obese …

Regulation of reserve carbohydrates in hull-less barley grain
… genes related to cell wall, starch, sucrose and fructan biosynthesis that were differentially expressed across grain development. Starch metabolic genes were downregulated in the early storage phase and the fructan biosynthetic gene, 6-SFT, was upregulated during the later storage phase. …

EXPLORING STATISTICAL CLASSIFICATION, GIS ANALYSIS AND MAPPING OF HERBIVORE BEHAVIOURS USING ACCELEROMETERS AND HIGH ACCURACY GPS
… if sheep show a preference for areas with higher fructan levels in grass. Three sheep were fitted with two accelerometers each. One attached to a head halter and one centrally located across the withers by means of a dog harness. Training data were collected and discriminant function analysis was …

Influence of dietary interventions on the immune system: an investigation of the impact of omega-3 fatty acids, dietary fermentable materials and high energy diets
… adults was conducted to examine impacts of β2-1 fructans on immunity. Subjects consumed an oligofructose-enriched inulin or maltodextrin supplement for a 28-day period (5 g, 3× daily with meals). β2-1 fructan supplementation significantly increased serum endotoxin and IL-4 concentrations, …

Indices of gut health and intestinal microbial ecology of the cat as affected by ingestion of select carbohydrates varying in fermentative capacity
The focus of this research was to determine the impact of select fermentable carbohydrates on gastrointestinal health outcomes and microbial ecology of domestic cats. Four studies were designed to address two major research objectives: 1) to determine nutrient digestibility and fecal fermentative …

Bioactive compounds in leek (Allium ampeloprasum var. porrum): analysis as a function of the genetic diversity, harvest time and processing techniques
… sulfoxides (ACSOs), polyphenols, vitamins and fructans. Moreover, epidemiologic studies elucidated the reduction of the risk of prostate, colorectal, stomach and breast cancer when leek is consumed. On the one hand, the present study identified and quantified bioactive compounds in fresh leek …
